#Links (2) is the simple text mode #browser.
Links is a text browser, similar to #Lynx and #w3m, but it adds more functionality, like a familiar menubar.
This menubar can be shown by pressing Esc, and allows for easy accessing of functionality and help.
Like Lynx, I'd say Links is a must have for any install.
As a bonus, Links has a graphical mode and supports iframes, tables, and CSS.

I just don't see the appeal of text browsers. The web was made for multimedia in mind.
@gaurdianaq @ibmiubu Linux systems use a display server instead of integrating a display system, this allows for quick bypassing of the display server when things go awry. Bypassing this server puts you either into the Linux console or a framebuffer terminal.
This ability to circumvent a possibly broken display server is amazing for technical support. Of course, the bypassing of the display server results in a text environment, so Lynx etc. are needed for accessing the internet.
@ibmiubu @skunksarebetter I mean, you could make the argument that if you're soley working in a text environment having the option could potentially be desireable, but I can't really imagine where you'd only be working in a text only environment outside of a server, and even then, you probably also have another computer with a GUI on it...
Unless you were making a conscious decision to go as minimalist as possible for philosophical reasons...
